MARKING Por.

Application filed May`20, Serial No. 562,297.

To (LZZ whom it malg/ concern:

Be it known thatV I, WALT C. MARsH, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Belleville, county of St. Clair, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Marking Pot, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in marking pots, and consists in the novel construction hereinafter disclosed.

An object of the invention is to provide an improved marking pot that may be economically manufactured and Which will be so constructed that it Will be durable in use.

Another object of the invention is to provide a marking pot equipped with novel means for suspending the roller.

Another object of the invention is to provide a marking pot equipped with a roller formed with a transverse. paddle therein which acts as a stirrer device for agitating the ink, thereby preventing the precipitation or settling of the coloring matter suspended in the carrying liquid of the ink.

With the foregoing as well as additional advantages in View I have designed a structure as hereinafter more fully disclosed, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. l is a plan view.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the cover removed.

In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing the pot or container l may be of any suitable material, preferably pressed metal, and is cylindrical in form having the edge of its open end outturned forming a bead 2. The container is provided with a hollow handle 3 soldered to the body of the pot, the outer end of the handle being rolled over the edge forming a bead Li.

The top or cover of the pot is likewise preferably made of pressed metal and includes a bowl-shaped portion 5, the edges of which are extended outwardly in a horizontal direction forming a 'liange 6 from which extends a Vertical annular fiange 7 that fits within the opening of the pot 1.

In order to form the supports for the cylinder the wall of the top of the pot is cut out and defiected downwardly to form brackets V8. This means of forming thel brackets 8 effects aconsiderable economy in the manufacture of the device and provides supports that are integral with the top of the pot.

The roller is formed from a continuous strip of metal bent in the form of a cylinder 9, the outer edge 10 of the curved metal overlapping for a slight distance the metal that completes the cylinder. The metal, after completion of the cylinder, is then defiected transversely of the axis of the cylinder forming a wall ll, thereby providing a paddle or stirrer element for agitating the ink and preventing the precipitation of the coloring matter thereof. The end of the wall ll is deflected so as to form a curved fiange 12 that fits against the inner surface of the cylinder. The *extreme ends of the metal forming the cylinder and paddle may be secured to the adjacent walls by soldering or other suitable means.

Gbviously,vas the brush is swept across the cylinder the cylinder will be rotated, the paddle ll agitating the liquid. It will be understood that the roller is supported for rotary movement by a shaft 13 that is fitted to the wall ll by a suitable securing means, a satisfactory method being to slit the wall at the axis thereof and inserting the shaft on opposite sides of the slits. The ends of the shaft 13 project through openings in the brackets 8.

For the insertion of the brush directly into the contents of the pot I provide an opening 14 through the wall of the bowl portion of the top.

I am aware that the invention may be modified in various particulars without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. I do not limit myself, therefore, to exact details shown and described, but what I claim and desire tol secure by Letters Patent is:-

l. A marking pot comprising a container, a cover for the container provided with an opening, a roller supported by thelcover operating in said opening, and a stirrer within the roller between the ends thereof.

2. A marking pot, comprising a container, a cover, a roller supported below the cover and extending into the container, said roller being composed of a continuous strip of metal formed to constitute a cylinder, and a wall extending transversely within the cylinder thereby providing a paddle or Stirrer ,devicefor agitating the liquid as the roller is rotated. i

3. ln a marking pot, a container, a bowlshaped cover for the container, anda cylinder supported below the cover and extending` into the container, said cylinder coinprising a continuous strip of metal bentto form the body of the cylinder` and a trans- Verse wallwithin the cylinder, the ends of the metal overlapping; the body: of the cylinder to provide a securing strip for joining the parts together.

4. A marking pot, comprising a container, a top for the container, and a feeding device compirising an open-ended cylinder mounted to rotate Within the container and above the Wall of the top, said device having a Wall transvcrse ot' the axis thereof VconstitntingI a paddle for agitating the liquid within the container.
